Women’s History Month Event: It Takes a Village

Our focus is on the ways in which women have provided healing and promoted hope in various ways. The program will begin with a few engaging stories about women who have been ‘healers” and provided hope in various capacities. This will be followed by a panelist discussion about the importance of writing these stories.

New Process for Library Holds

Holds Pickup Locker

Students and faculty/staff can search for and request items through our catalog available at http://cpcc.summon.serialssolutions.com/#!/

Items can be picked up at either Central, Levine, or Merancas campuses or the library will mail your request directly to your home. Patrons select these options during the request process. Do not go to campus until you receive confirmation that your request has been processed. This request process will be re-evaluated in early October.

Requested materials will be managed by using lockers that patrons can access directly. Locker locations are:

Central – front vestibule of the library (OLD ATC)

Levine – in the vestibule between Levine 2 and 3 (behind the flag circle)

Merancas- in the Claytor building in the alcove between the Registration and Information desks
